lyrics

Sham

we were ruled by monsters
but maybe they were us
clanging pots out in the street
was simply too much fuss

went along to get along
in fact we bought the hype
not polite to challenge folks
i never was the type

blitz of propaganda
democracy gone sham
power swamps the airwaves
pretends to give a damn

we knew there was little time
and so much to be done
but we’d forgotten discipline
our love affair with fun

plus we had internalized
the justifying lies
then they sacked the malcontents
that right big money buys

chorus

we grew horns and tails and hooves
though we swore we were good
then we poured into the streets
and trashed the neighborhood

blitz of propaganda
democracy gone sham
power swamps the airwaves
pretends to give a damn
